Effective DaEffective Date: January 1, 2026
Welcome to the website of The Village Dental Center. These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of www.thevillagedentalcenter.com and its related webpages, forms, features, and online services (collectively, the “Website”).
By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the Website.
“The Village Dental Center,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to The Village Dental Center and its owners, dentists, employees, agents, and representatives, as applicable.
1. Website Purpose
The Website provides general information about The Village Dental Center, our dentists, dental services, treatment options, membership plans, financing options, promotions, patient resources, and ways to contact or request an appointment with our office.
Website content is provided for general informational and educational purposes only.
2. No Medical or Dental Advice
Information on this Website is not intended to provide individual dental or medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
Dental conditions and treatment needs vary from person to person. Information presented on the Website should not be used as a substitute for an examination, diagnosis, treatment plan, or advice from a licensed healthcare professional who has evaluated you.
Do not disregard professional medical or dental advice or delay seeking care because of information you have read on this Website.
3. No Dentist-Patient Relationship Created by Website Use
Visiting the Website, submitting an online form, communicating with us electronically, viewing educational information, or requesting an appointment does not by itself create a dentist-patient relationship between you and The Village Dental Center or any of our dentists.
A dentist-patient relationship is established only as appropriate through direct professional interaction and acceptance for care by the practice.
4. Dental Emergencies
The Website, contact forms, email, virtual consultation tools, and text messaging are not emergency services and should not be relied upon for urgent medical or dental situations.
If you believe you are experiencing a life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or seek immediate emergency medical care.
For urgent dental concerns, contact The Village Dental Center directly at (623) 583-0151. If the office is closed, follow any instructions provided by our office phone system or seek appropriate emergency care.
5. Appointment and Consultation Requests
The Website may allow you to request an appointment, virtual consultation, cosmetic consultation, or other service.
Submitting a request does not guarantee or confirm an appointment.
An appointment is confirmed only after The Village Dental Center or an authorized scheduling provider communicates confirmation to you.
Appointment availability, provider availability, treatment recommendations, costs, and scheduling are subject to change.
Virtual consultations, smile previews, photographs, questionnaires, or other preliminary assessments do not replace an in-person clinical examination when one is necessary to diagnose a condition or recommend treatment.
6. Accuracy of Website Information
We make reasonable efforts to provide helpful and accurate information, but dental services, providers, hours, fees, promotions, technology, membership plans, financing programs, insurance participation, and other Website information may change.
We do not guarantee that all Website content will always be complete, current, error-free, or available.
If Website information differs from information provided directly by our office regarding your care, appointment, treatment plan, or financial responsibility, the information provided directly to you by the practice will control.
7. Offers, Promotions, and Membership Plans
From time to time, the Website may describe special offers, promotional pricing, discounts, dental savings plans, membership plans, or other programs.
Unless expressly stated otherwise:
- Offers are subject to eligibility requirements and stated expiration dates.
- Offers may not be combined with other discounts or promotions.
- Certain services, procedures, providers, or patients may not qualify.
- Availability may be limited.
- Clinical recommendations will always be based on the patient’s dental needs.
- A promotion does not guarantee that a particular treatment is appropriate for you.
Membership plans and dental savings plans are not dental insurance. Separate plan terms, limitations, exclusions, payment requirements, and agreements may apply.
The specific written terms provided in connection with an offer or membership plan control if they conflict with general Website information.
8. Treatment Results and Testimonials
The Website may include photographs, smile galleries, testimonials, reviews, patient stories, descriptions of treatment outcomes, or other examples of patient experiences.
These examples are provided for informational purposes and do not guarantee that another patient will achieve the same or similar results.
Individual results vary based on oral health, anatomy, treatment needs, compliance, healing, lifestyle, and other factors.
Nothing on the Website should be interpreted as a promise or guarantee of a particular clinical or cosmetic result.
9. Financing and Payment Information
The Website may provide information or links relating to third-party financing providers or payment programs.
Financing approval, interest rates, payment amounts, repayment terms, credit requirements, and other financing conditions are established by the applicable third-party provider and not solely by The Village Dental Center.
Submitting a financing application may create a separate relationship between you and the financing provider and will be governed by that provider’s terms and privacy practices.
The Village Dental Center does not guarantee approval for third-party financing.
10. Text Message Communications
If you provide your mobile number and consent to receive text messages, you authorize The Village Dental Center and service providers acting on our behalf to send messages to the number you provided, as permitted by law.
Messages may include:
- Appointment scheduling
- Appointment confirmations and reminders
- Consultation information
- Patient service communications
- Follow-up information
- Practice updates
- Promotional or marketing communications when you have consented to receive them
Messages may be sent using automated technology where permitted by law.
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply.
You may opt out by replying STOP, QUIT, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or otherwise clearly communicating that you wish to stop receiving messages.
Reply HELP for assistance or call our office at (623) 583-0151.
Consent to receive promotional text messages is not a condition of receiving dental care or purchasing services.
After an opt-out request, you may receive a limited confirmation message acknowledging the request. Certain communications separately permitted by law or specifically requested by you may still occur.
You are responsible for providing an accurate mobile telephone number and notifying us if your number changes.
Do not use text messaging for emergencies or to send highly sensitive information unless specifically instructed by our office.
11. Email Communications
If you provide an email address or subscribe to communications from us, you may receive messages concerning appointments, consultations, patient services, educational information, practice updates, or promotional offers.
You may unsubscribe from promotional email communications by following the unsubscribe instructions included in the message.
Opting out of promotional communications does not necessarily prevent us from sending communications concerning appointments, treatment, billing, patient services, or other non-marketing matters when permitted by law.
12. Electronic Communications
By contacting us electronically, you acknowledge that email, standard text messaging, and ordinary Website communications may have inherent security and privacy limitations.
Do not use general contact forms, ordinary email, or standard text messages to communicate highly sensitive medical or financial information unless our office has instructed you that the method is appropriate.
Communications involving protected health information are handled in accordance with applicable law and The Village Dental Center’s Notice of Privacy Practices.

Your use of a third-party website or service is at your discretion and subject to the third party’s terms and policies.
